gOD’S gRANDEuRMark AdamoG. Schirmer, Inc.In the composer’s words: God’s Grandeur makes a companion piece to Pied Beauty, the first Gerard Manley Hopkins poem on ecstatic themes that I’ve set for choir. God’s Grandeur read(s) like a scene – from awe to despair to an ecstasy of gratitude in one taut sonnet. That’s why this piece seemed to need its own substantial, quasi-orchestral piano part, and why (the) vocalism ranges from fiery fanfare to desolate recitative to conclude, at last, in bright chorale.”50490268 SATB ...................................................................................... $2.25

In his words, “What better text to choose, but the famous metaphysical-musical conceit of John Dryden (1631-1700)? Although a techni-

cally demanding piece, the work speaks for itself in repeated harmonic and melodic motives that find their way from the very first notes of the organ to the very last: a journey of praise, wit, beauty and melancholy, with a foun-dational subtext of mystic wonder.”08752575 SATB, with organ .................................................................. $5.95

FOOTLIghT DREAMSFollowing Your Passion for a Career in Musical TheatreA guide for Performers, Parents and TeachersDavid LaddHal LeonardFor many young people, the most intense perform-ing experiences they may have are as part of a cast in a musical or play. Or, they may fall in love with

a Broadway or touring production to the extent that they jump headlong into the pursuit of such a dream without the necessary planning and thought that should accompany such a big decision.Veteran actor and educator David Ladd has created a practical guide for per-formers, teachers and parents to help the decision-making process for aspiring performers as they contemplate their futures in the theatre.Drawing on his experience as a singer/dancer, including a sabbatical year in New York where he chronicled his challenges and successes, Ladd presents the full range of information a student would need before setting their sights on a music theatre career, including a full range of interviews from profes-sional actors detailing the significant obstacles to success in the field, statis-tics on costs of housing, transportation and training, and the audition/casting process for a new, non-Equity performer.The final section of the book guides the reader as he/she explores their own career options, with thought-provoking questions, journaling opportunities and career resources, making this chapter especially useful for teachers work-ing one-on-one with students or in the classroom.It’s not an easy path, but if performing is your passion, pursue it with an open mind and listen to your heart – the successes can be glorious!08752713 Book ........................................................................................$16.99
